Hi John,
We are still over the moon as we celebrated Vice President Kamala Harris accepting the presidential nomination of the Democratic Party before a joyful United Center audience last Thursday night in Chicago.
And we see the same enthusiasm in results, with Sunday's announcement from campaign chair Jen O'Malley Dillon, who stated:
"Just before Vice President Harris’ acceptance speech Thursday night, we officially crossed the $500 million mark. Immediately after her speech, we saw our best fundraising hour since launch day.”
We are proud to make tools and partner with the Harris-Walz campaign and other Democratic leaders at all levels of the ballot to help power us to victory in November.

Wow, check out that Action Network Mobile Messaging call to action on the podium!
We make tools like Mobile Messaging on Action Network that make it easy to incorporate dual-channel engagement into your mobilization program. You can follow up your fundraising email a few minutes later with a fundraising text bumping the ask and reaching people where they are. Learn more about Action Network Mobile Messaging by joining a demo or sign up to add Mobile Messaging to your existing partnership here.
Side note: We are recommending that folks who want to get set up on Mobile Messaging for campaign work do so before Friday, September 27th. This is because it can take a week to get set up with your phone number, and we want you to have at least a month before the election to use this tool!
Labor Day is coming ✊, but our demos and trainings will happen as scheduled next week. Any questions sent to our support team should expect a delay due to the holiday. As a reminder, you can always see our upcoming trainings on our events page.
Lastly, we just released a brand new action type on Action Network: Surveys! Surveys allow you to create multi-page forms to survey your activists. Each survey page is flexible — you can have one or more questions with an optional title and description. You can also create conditional pages and send your survey-takers down personalized paths based on how they answer questions.
On September 13th at 1pm ET, Mari Vangen-Strom, Action Network's Product Director, will host a training to walk you through this new feature and provide examples of how you can use it to help power your work. Click here to RSVP.
Check out all of our upcoming monthly trainings here. Follow us on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Action Network YouTube, Action Builder YouTube, and LinkedIn for updates from our partner community and examples of how organizers are using the tools to build power.
In Solidarity,
